you may de able to counterbore from the top by constructing some sort of too that you push up from underneath and then attach to the drill
I have to say that when I did this job and ran into this problem, I hacked enough space to get the connectors on and simply glued the taps in with car body filler.

Mmm like a Thunderbirds style reverse cutting drill bit thing ? Gorra link!?

Think about the state of it in years to come when damp has had its effects. A counterbore will be very vulnerable to damp.

Eh??
If it got wet ever, won't it just drain by gravity being on the underside.....??

Think about why window sills have a overhang or a groove underneath. It is to stop water tracking on the underside. The cold tap connector will be prone to condensation as well.
All cutouts in kitchen work tops should be sealed with silicone as a matter of course especially if there is the possibility of water ingress.

I'm thinking about all the taps I've ever seen that don't have anything like you're on about.
Any condensation will run down along the tap connector/pipes?? Like every cold tap connector!?

Chipboard maybe, solid woods & stone? Nah not really

It's no more vulnerable to damp than using taps with a longer threaded part and easy enough to estapol the counterbore if you are worried about that.
That's for rain. You don?t get anything like that under worktops.
It is
And you don?t have that with a worktop, for a reason.

No more so than a tap with a longer threaded part is.
And trivial to estapol the counterbore if you are worried.
